I Only applied to 4 schools. I got into all of them! I was accepted to UCSD, UC Davis, Cal Poly Pomona, and Cal State University San Marcos. Honestly, I thought I was going to get a big fat rejection from UCSD. I almost did not apply.
Hey do you think UCSD will actually take away our admission offer if we don’t do well on our AP/IB exams?
@abcdepp1 No they won’t, just don’t fail the corresponding AP classes. Not sure about IB
